Iโ€™m very happy with my plan. The customer service is pleasant, easy to work with, and the plan is really nice. Otto Car is approachable, has a better range of vehicles, and the prices of course.

I'd recommend AfterCare to other drivers, as it's less stress and hassle - it's good because I don't have to pay big money every week.

When I found out about Otto Car, I couldnโ€™t believe my luck that there was a company where you can get a brand-new PCO car with no hard credit-checks and the car maintenance is taken care of too.
